How to implement guide with passing array of objects to a function in php 8.2
I've been banging my head against this for hours. I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I am working with a question when trying to pass an array of objects to a function in PHP 8.2. My function is supposed to process each object and return an array of results. However, I am getting an unexpected result where the function seems to be treating the objects as empty. Here’s a simplified version of my code: ```php class User { public $name; public $email; public function __construct($name, $email) { $this->name = $name; $this->email = $email; } } function processUsers(array $users) { $results = []; foreach ($users as $user) { if (!isset($user->name) || !isset($user->email)) { throw new Exception('User object is missing properties'); } $results[] = 'Name: ' . $user->name . ', Email: ' . $user->email; } return $results; } $users = [ new User('Alice', 'alice@example.com'), new User('Bob', 'bob@example.com') ]; try { $output = processUsers($users); print_r($output); } catch (Exception $e) { echo 'behavior: ' . $e->getMessage(); } ``` When I run this code, I get the expected output: ``` Array ( [0] => Name: Alice, Email: alice@example.com [1] => Name: Bob, Email: bob@example.com ) ``` However, if I pass an array that contains a mixture of `User` objects and other data types, like this: ```php $usersMixed = [ new User('Alice', 'alice@example.com'), 'Invalid Data', new User('Bob', 'bob@example.com') ]; $output = processUsers($usersMixed); ``` I receive an `behavior: User object is missing properties` message, but it’s unclear which object is causing the scenario. I was expecting the function to handle the array more gracefully or at least notify me which specific entry caused the question. I tried adding a debug statement within the loop to check the type of each entry, but it still just throws the exception without specifying which entry is problematic. How can I modify my function to identify and handle invalid entries more effectively without stopping the entire process? This is part of a larger API I'm building. This is part of a larger service I'm building. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this.
